Your serverless talk at node.js conf was the fire bro.
Any advice on how to stop saying "um" while I speak? I keep seeing my recorded talks and um... I say it a lot

a) slow down enough to b) try to notice when you are saying um, c) practice replacing with a pause, or breath

what Alex says. Also grab a buddy and have them snap every time you say um or ahh in a practice session

I'm usually dehydrated before a talk so this tip has multiple benefits :)

it takes conscious effort and practice, plus the realization that silence is a good thing

would prefer advice that involved less effort. I'm a millennial Brian...

Google "using silence to win arguments" there's a bunch of stuff. Once you start doing that it's easy to ditch the "ums"
-
I read a thing about shutting the fuck up (literally, harder than it sounds) a long time ago and it changed my life

self study (recorded talks, podcasts, even voice memos of meetings) is the secret weapon tho so you’re already on track

I just started thinking about it and when I noticed myself about to say "um" replacing it with a pause or a drink of h2o
